Santa Sleigh 5K to Be Run on Saturday at the Arena Club

The Arena Club will be holding their 5th Annual Santa’s Sleigh 5K & 1 mile walk on the Harford Community College campus on Saturday, December 8th to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs.

 The race will start at 8:30 AM on Saturday at the Arena Club, located at 2304 Churchville Road.  The course goes through the Harford Community College campus, finishing back at the Arena Club and the race will be hand-timed by Elite Race Management.

 This race is a race just for fun that anyone can participate in. The entry fee for the 5K is $25, and the entry fee for the walk is $10. Members of the Boys & Girls Club and anyone under the age of 13 can participate in this race for free.  In 2011, people from ages 7 to 63 participated in the Santa’s Sleigh 5K, and an even wider range for the walk.

 “Anyone is able to participate,” said Shawn Loper, COO of Elite Race Management and 1997 graduate of Bel Air High School, “We only require that you are sufficiently trained and healthy to participate (no doctor restrictions).”

 “It is a festive race – music at the finish, refreshments, fun awards like best costume, and random giveaways to go with the overall and age group award presentation,” said Loper.

 Cash awards and plaques will go to the top 3 overall male and female 5K finishers. Awards will also go to the top 3 finishers in each of the age groups.
